Manasamitra bring their brand-new multi-media work to Kings Place, a musical interpretation of a tea ceremony. The Sound of Tea mixes new live music with lighting, soundscapes and participatory rituals to tell the story of tea. Specially-designed interactive tea tables will create an interactive loop between the audience and performers.

With Duncan Chapman (electronics) James Cave (cello) Karin de Fleyt (flutes) Arian Sadr (percussion) Rohith Sakthy (voice) Fenfen Huang (performance) & Beverly Wainwright (tea expert)
